I got home from work today and was pleased to discover that my copy of Postcranial Adaptation in Nonhuman Primates (edited by Dan Gebo) had arrived. On the front cover was a great drawing of an aye-aye. Later, hopping on the internet, one of the first posts I read was this great post on aye-ayes on Zooillogix. Aye-ayes, it goes without saying, are my favorite primates – well, next to Australopithecines – so is it a coincidence? Probably. Still cool though.
